Healthy Options For The Man Who Has Everything

By Cheryl Valdebenito

Today’s focus is on the men ~ How can we help support your healthy life style in a natural holistic way? Men are pragmatic – generally you deal with something when it happens. Although you’re experiencing different stressors every day, you treat those little annoyances like pesky mosquitos, simply to be brushed away. When the bug’s venom r-e-a-l-l-y starts itching, your awareness says, “what can I DO about this?”

Some of the best gems for relieving life’s little discomforts are essential oils. While it is usually the women who lean toward this solution, Men…Listen up! Your turn has come.

The science behind the use of pure essential oils is revealing, so as you dip your foot into the scented oils a few times, you likely will find yourself stimulated by the results of your research. Quality, purity and effectiveness are key elements to their viability. Let’s have a look at what benefits are possible using oils if golf is your passion.

On the drive over, you’re telling yourself, ‘Today is par or better; get your head in the game.’ In moments like these, a drop or two of Frankincense comes in handy. Put it in your palm, breathe in the earthy, uplifting aroma, and pat your neck. The scent is grounding you, giving you a sense of connectedness between yourself and the grass, somehow elevating and stimulating at the same time.

Gearing up, you remember the last time you played. You like to carry your golf bag, but lately you’ve noticed it tugging on your shoulder, and you feel your gait is dragging the swing. Even when you switched to pulling the bag, it was noticeable. Movements have caused some muscle stress and can feel it with every swing. A little swipe of Valor Roll-on could do the trick, aligning your energy before you begin. It is also very calming and can give a boost of confidence as you glide through the first nine holes.

Next? Three oils may help support that shoulder before your game: Start with Deep Relief (roll on). Simply massage a few drops into the troublesome spot. Then chase them with a drop of Aroma Siez and Copaiba to amplify the benefits. Use as often as you want throughout the day.

When the game is done, you’re ready to have a great night with your gal? Shower with Shutran soap; and don’t forget the Shutran oil afterward. This is an empowering blend specially formulated for men to boost feelings of masculinity and confidence. It can be worn as a cologne, too!

Last thing before bed, RutaVaLa (Roll-on) is a soothing option. Roll a bit behind your neck or on the bottoms of your feet. Its benefits may include calming stressed nerves as its natural oil chemistry can be both relaxing and revitalizing while inducing a better quality of sleep and rebalancing to the energy levels of the body.

Great for being mobile, these eight little bottles can be popped into your bag, handy for the gym, too, or even throwing horseshoes. Women love these too. Switch out the Shutran for StressAway to make a nice little “Love You, Too” gift, just because.

Oh, about those mosquitoes — they can sure ruin a guy’s swing, right? An effective skin care option I enjoy includes Vitamin E along with seven essential oils in a sesame carrier oil. Young Living’s Insect Repellent has a naturally-derived, hypoallergenic formula that leaves skin feeling smooth and moisturized instead of greasy or sticky. Great on the golf course and safe for the family too.
